Fare thee well
Anyway, consider this the farewell I didn't make last time. I was tired of grandstanding exits and decided simply to stop posting. I'm heartened that I was noticed and missed, and perhaps I'll stop by again in the future to keep any interested parties appraised.
You certainly aren't unique in leaving. It seems that the inevitable trend is that everyone eventually parts ways with this place, but all seem to take something invaluable from the experience.
It is my understanding that EvC has evolved (pun intended) over the years and occasionally veteran members reminisce on the way it was versus the way it is currently.
People talk of these "good ole days" and how the site never really recovered from a meltdown that ensued a few years ago.
I can see how it would be easy to allow this site to suck you in and consume all of one's time. I keep this place at an arm's distance and post every few days (mostly because I work full time, am working on a degree, have a family, other extra-curricular activities to consume the majority of my time.
It sounds as if you have a good thing going and shouldn't change much if anything at all. If you can find a way to time manage your professional/personal life with the occasional posts at EvC, drop by every once and awhile.

Re: Question
What was "The Purge"...?
We don't talk of those things.

Re: Question
You got to the forum after me
It would appear that way.

Re: Question
I didn't know there was a history in the forum
If these cyberwalls could talk...
"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times; it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness; it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity; it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness; it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair; we had everything before us, we had nothing before us; we were all going directly to Heaven, we were all going the other way." -- Charles Dickens
We went in to the fray with the expectation to teach, and from it we were taught. Some say we learned more about ourselves than others did of us. A simple yet elegant truism.
Good or bad, we shared pieces of ourselves and gained so much more in return.
